Garden

It has been a little while since I started my garden facelift and I must admit even though I was going great guns I had started to wane in my enthusiasm.
So decided to call it a day till after our Butlins break earlier this month. Thankfully feeling much more refreshed and enthused Ollie ...

Over the last 8 years the garden has become a hive of activity with 2 boys and a football.
Free time seems to have been limited and so after checking out the garden recently before we reviewed the beautiful bench from Garden Benches I took a long hard look at what had been our once loved ...

Quality time is something that we don't get a lot of and so when those times pop up we tend to spend as much of it in the garden as possible, whatever the weather.
Recently we were asked if we would like to take a look at a solid teak wooden bench for the garden by the lovely folks over at ...

Its fair to say that these days our children are surrounded by screens, consoles, phones and other electrical equipment all day long. So its easy to forget that fresh air and screen free time is still a must.
Joshua if left to his own choices would spend all day attached to a console but ...

Your garden enhances the beauty of your house and increases its kerb appeal. A garden that’s home to colourful flowers takes the exteriors of your home to the next level.
Summer season is the best time to spend your mornings and evenings in the garden. If you have fragrant plants in your garden ...

It has been a long old winter and this year more than any other it seemed to take forever for those light nights to appear and the glum and darkness to subside.
However this last weekend finally the warmer weather showed its much awaited face and we finally got to get the sprinkler out in ...

For the last 2 years our garden has been immensely underused, last year with a very small baby I sat inside for the most part while Joshua and Ollie only went out for a quick game of football or two.
The year before I was pregnant and redecorating the entire house so going outside in the ...

Summer is fast approaching (thank goodness for that!), which means that soon you will be able to enjoy spending time as a family in the garden and soaking up the sun - yes so that you can fully maximise the time spent outside, so it is worth looking at getting your garden ready for fun ...

Way back in the summer I had the privilege of discovering the STIHL Compact Cordless range of product and feel in love with the idea of professional quality especially for a more everyday day gardeners.
We had the chance to review the Compact Cordless Grass Trimmer and loved ...

If you have been hanging around in this neck of the internet for a while you will know that through the Summer I attended an event at RHS Flower Show at Tatton Park to discover what was new with the STIHL brand.
It was while I was there that no longer where STIHL focussing purely on ...

Why hello Sunshine, it's been a while since we last saw you here! I am really hoping you've come to stay for the holidays but please stay a little longer after so I can get to enjoy you properly, you see I've started making plans and you need to stay or they will remain in my head and ...

Last year we signed up to be member of the RSPB and had mentally made plans to do more in the garden to support our wildlife.
Along came a pregnancy, a whole house titivation and time slipped through our fingers and we have done nothing about supporting the wildlife nor have we got round to ...

My favourite times of the year are spring and autumn, over recent years I have begun to have a real love of growing and planting in my garden and as such its been a really natural thing to do by including Joshua in the mix and letting him grow and explore the wonder of planting too.
Even ...

Joshua was really lucky a couple of years ago that as a family we all clubbed together to pay for what we now think is our garden essential ... The playhouse.
However, when we were looking round for one, we were inundated with ideas but no real way of finding out which was the best ...
